Episode 129: The Tenth Man to Walk on the Moon - A Conversation with Apollo Astronaut Charlie Duke (Daily Bonus Episode I of V)

FIVE DAILY BONUS EPISODES (Tuesday through Saturday) Part I of V

In celebration of the Fourth of July and as 2022 is the year of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 16 moon landing, Daniel Ray sits down for a conversation with Apollo 16 astronaut, the tenth man to walk upon the lunar surface, Charlie Duke. Duke is a retired Air Force Brigadier General and the CAPCOM "voice" of Houston for the historic Apollo 11 mission to the moon in July of 1969.

It was such an honor and delight to speak with Charlie. It was like talking to family. His delight in telling his remarkable story is evident. We spoke for an hour and twenty minutes about his time working as CAPCOM for Apollo 11, his own trip to the moon on Apollo 16 and ultimately how the Lord Jesus Christ saved both Charlie and his family.

Here on part one Charlie reflects on his experiences on the moon 50 years later and what it was like during the very tense final moments before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon during the historical Apollo 11 mission.

We are releasing the full conversation as five bonus episodes each daily in five parts so stay tuned!

You may also watch the video version of this same interview. Part I premieres on YouTube Tuesday, July 5th here: https://youtu.be/WmGsoZklgcs Be sure to listen all the way to the end for some hilarious bonus material! You can't hear Charlie's reaction on the audio, but he is grinning ear to ear in the video.
